Bahahahaha! Sean +1.

Translation: When conservatives come up with something I don’t like I’m convinced it was actually sneaky liberals who did it. Because I’m psychologically incapable of finding anything bad in a conservative or anything good in a liberal. Reality will twist to conform to my psychoses.

Ya, we know.

Just two days ago, I received notification of a “new nutrition for senior citizens”. It’s called SNAP : Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

I opened up the brochure, and read: As of October 1, 2008 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is the new name for the Federal Food Stamp Program. (Yes, I know, Pres Bush was still in office, but I’d bet dollars to donuts that it wasn’t a conservative who came up with that name change).

Quaker in a B: That was Ms. Prejean’s term, Frank. Nobody here came up with that one.

And she came up with it while in a particularly stressful moment. Given how folks can have some difficulty speaking under those conditions despite supposedly being prepared for them, I wouldn’t make too much out of her coming up with that phrase. More a verbal slip than any considered attempt to sneak a new euphemism past your paranoia.

“We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or an opposite-sex marriage …” There, that better?

You used it without quotes — it’s your term. Excuse me if I thought you were familiar with the English language.

Jaim, I find your remark insensitive and offensive, and if you had any grace or civility, you would discontinue such despicable and obnoxious behavior.

That was Ms. Prejean’s term, Frank. Nobody here came up with that one.

Holy fuck are you dim.

Any more questions?

WTF ! Another euphemism from the well? Do you guys ever run out of ways to disguise unpopular ideas?

I am not opposed to gay marriage, but I sure would like it be the law of the land that I could marry a transsexual as a woman, instead of having a same – sex marriage.

Do I expect that to happen any time soon?

No.

Should I get a group together and ram it through as an Executive Order, or do an end run and let the Supreme Court decide?

No, believe it or not, Pres Bush had the right idea: Go through the Constitutional Amendment process, and have 50 state discussions.

Finally.

Umm when she was on the Miss USA stage wasn’t she representing California?

Huh? Where in that does she say she isn’t representing California?

“I never thought this thing would come to pass, and yet here it has.”

A common enough phrasing people use to express their pleasure/amazement/etc that something that at one time may not have seemed likely has in fact happened.

“I am disgusted with the way some people can be so intolerant. ”

I got a big laugh out of that one.

And where in THAT snippet does she demonstrate any intolerance herself?

Oh and by the way, most people do not have a problem with civil unions, just not marriage for gays. Most believe that to be an affront to G_D. You can Call Believers in G_D crazy and make all the jokes you want, but Believers are not going away, and Obama knows it.

Miss California USA Carrie Prejean announced Thursday she will star in an anti-gay marriage ad sponsored by the controversial National Organization for Marriage.

“I was attacked for giving my own opinion on stage at a Miss USA contest, and I’m going to do whatever it takes, Matt, to protect marriage,” Prejean, 21, told NBC “Today” show host Matt Lauer.

“The National Organization for Marriage basically just respects, um, you know, marriages and people who support it,” she said. “That’s what I’m here to do today, protect traditional marriage.”

So she thinks is great that people can choose (because that’s what it is, a choice–at least according to the Book of Wingnut), she just doesn’t want them to, and will fight for laws which prevent them from choosing to. I just assumed this was common knowledge (a la Rush Limbaugh’s “Take that bone out of your nose” and so much more).

From tonight’s show, Rachel Maddow says it best:

Jesus Barbie: I am disgusted at the way “some people” can be so intolerant. It disgusts me.

Rachel Maddow: Carrie Prejean, champion of tolerance! For the brave stance against other peoples’ civil rights.

Nope, all for it.

OK, then. Let the mocking begin!

What about this…

“I never thought that I would be up on a stage representing, you know, the state of California.”

Umm when she was on the Miss USA stage wasn’t she representing California?

“I am disgusted with the way some people can be so intolerant. ”

I got a big laugh out of that one.

This one really cracked me up, jr.
